I have been trying to pin the Power BI report in dashboard when publishing to power BI but the vertical scroll bar in report doesn't show up in dashboard. I am able to use the scroll bar in report but when I pin that in dashboard, I can't see the scroll bar in that tile in dashboard.
I would suggest you use pages, as per the Power BI, after publishing to Power BI, only the section visible inside the Gridlines in the Desktop is visible.
For this problem, you can use multiple pages, after publishing, you would be able to switch between pages.
Hope it answers your question, Prashant!

I would like to change the default summarization function in the Modelling tab of Power BI Desktop to view actual value instead of summation of data, as described in this question.
I followed this video on customising ribbon in Power BI:
which suggested checking updated ribbon option in File/Options and settings/ Options/ Preview features, but there was not this option on my Power BI desktop:
Question edit:
I would like to edit a Power BI app which had already been published, so I will have to edit in Workspace, where I notice the default summarization is retained. How can I remove the default summarization setting the for Power BI app in Workspace?
(*Only for the first part of the question)
There seems to be a way to work around this with YouTube - 35 Don't summarize option Power BI.
Go to Data tab, click on the table on the right and edit Summarization option in the ribbon to Don't summarize.
I am looking for an approach to blurr the visuals in power bi report.
Please can someone suggest how can we implement below functionalities
in Power BI Reports.
When the report load for the first time, some of the visuals should be in Blurr state until user click on the page.
If not required, need to blurr the visuals again.
Perhaps you can make a large shape and put it to the background. Add an action to the shape with bookmarks.
Create shapes over your visuals with a little of transparancy and in the bookmark make them dissapear.
When a user then clicks on the page the bookmark is triggered to unhide the shapes over the visuals.
Quite some work, but it will do what you want.
I am having an issue that my Power BI report is resizing visuals based on the screen size in the Power BI service. Which is causing issues on bigger screens.
The first image shows the issue I am having when viewing my report in the Power BI service on a external larger monitor.
The second image shows how the report looks in my Power BI Desktop dev file. And when viewed on my laptop screen in the Power BI service.
The image shows a matrix table that has been enlarged with a scroll bar. This is being viewed on an external monitor. However in my Power BI desktop dev file this aligns the way you would imagine. Also if viewed on a laptop it aligns correctly.
Any help?
Thanks
Normally in BI tools, I open a report page, see empty tables, their column names, and empty charts. I select some filters from header place and click on the View button to query report and see the result.
But in PowerBI, when I open a published report page, I see a completely rendered report. If I want to apply a date range, I have to run report again. In this way, my report query runs twice, but I don't want to spend my CPU power on the initial rendered full report with data.
How can I prepare reports and publish in PowerBI, which End users may see an empty page or empty charts? The report must be displayed with data only if the end-user selects the filters and click on any apply button.
Q: How to render report charts after filters are applied in PowerBI?
A: Bookmarks
Yes, even empty reports can easily be done using the feature in Power Bi Desktop. The idea behind a Power Bi's bookmark is that it will remember or preserve your report page visuals in any filtered state.
So, to get the empty report style, set your filters or slicers so that no results are displayed in your report page, then save things as a bookmark. Click Add in the bookmarks pane, and name it to something you will remember.
Then on the main index page for your reports, link to your report using that bookmark to your report with empty results.
Example
Turn on bookmarks by clicking the bookmarks pane checkbox under the view menu:
Note: If you are using a version prior to March 2018, the bookmarks are a preview feature and might not be found in the view menu.
For the following report data:
The below report which displays song data in a table, number of songs in the card on the right and a date slicer below. Note the date range intersects some of the song dates in the data and these are the songs displayed in the reports table and card:
If you then enter in a dates into the slicer (12/31/1970) that do not intersect the dates in the table, this will zero out the report:
Then you go to the bookmarks pane and Click the Add button at the top as Bookmark 1. Right-click and rename to "Blank Song Report".
Now anywhere in your presentation, you can link back to a blank song report using this "Blank Song Report" bookmark. Being able to save reports in a certain state is a powerful feature and you can achieve this through Bookmarks.
re: CPU power
All CPU power spent on Power Bi Reports is on the client side of things. If the reports are run inside of Power Bi Desktop that is in a program on the users computer. If the report is served from Power Bi service or from Power Bi Report Server the users browser will be running and rendering the report via JavaScript. So there is no need to worry about "CPU spend", because it will all be on the client side.
I have a Power BI embedded report that is always the full width and the correct height so that all the report can be seen. When I resize the browser window, for some browser sizes, a vertical scrollbar appears in the report page. When scrolling down with this scroll bar, there is no content.
Is there a way to prevent the scrollbar appearing?
The scrollbar will not appear if you set 'View' -> 'Fit to Page'.
This can be done in Power BI Desktop and in Power BI portal.
